New underground stations

The Metro Tunnel Project will deliver five new underground stations.

New underground stations at North Melbourne, Parkville, State Library at the northern end of Swanston Street, Town Hall at the southern end of Swanston Street and Anzac on St Kilda Road will transform the way people move around Melbourne and improve access to key landmarks and destinations.

The two stations under Swanston Street will be directly connected to the City Loop at Melbourne Central and Flinders Street Station.

The new station names were announced on 29 November. (Some references to the working names may still be found in older maps and materials as we progressively update the website).
